Borderline Personality Disorder
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I support individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) through evidence-based treatments designed to stabilize emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. One of the most effective therapies for BPD is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. DBT helps individuals develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. This helps reduce self-destructive behaviors and enhances overall wellbeing. Additionally, I incorporate Schema Therapy that can help address deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behavior by helping individuals understand and change maladaptive schemas developed from past experiences. By utilizing these evidence-based approaches, I aim to provide a structured and supportive environment where individuals with BPD can work towards greater emotional stability, helathier relationships and improved quality of life.

Borderline Personality Disorder
William Munze
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CPC, NCC
Living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often means experiencing intense emotions and mood swings, which can make relationships and daily life challenging. People with BPD may have a deep fear of abandonment and struggle with self-image, leading to impulsive behaviors and feelings of emptiness. Despite these difficulties, many individuals with BPD can find stability and fulfillment through therapy and support.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is specifically designed to help individuals with borderline personality disorder by teaching skills in four key areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through DBT, I help clients balance acceptance and change, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve emotional stability. This structured approach has been shown to significantly decrease symptoms and improve overall functioning in individuals with BPD.
